Found: inexpensive LCD flip monitor packages

[operation_nola]

I recently bought a DOF adapter (no flip) and couldnt get the hang of shooting with the picture flipped (try to pan right, but go left, etc), so I started looking for an inexpensive solution (unlike the IKAN monitors which are quite pricey).

I found this ebay store:
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/LCD4Vid...573QQ_sidZ38728863QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322

that sells LCD monitor packages that flip the image, lcd with battery, hot shoe adapter for camera, sun hood, case and all. I am in NO WAY affilitated with whoever sells this stuff, I just wanted to share my find. I just bought mine (minutes ago). Can't wait to mount it and start shooting.

Another place I found that has LCD packages is www.hollywooddof.com. This is actually the DOF adapter that I bought, but didnt buy the LCD pacakge from him. I like the DOF adapter from him (I'm a rookie, couldn't tell about the # of stops of light loss or anything, but it looks good).


I hope someone can use this info, if not, oh well. :beer:

I have this set up as well. The monitors resolution is crap, it's fine for composition though. The charging system leaves much to be desired as well. I have the battery as well but the cords are so janky it doesn't charge unless you hold it just in the right position (mine anyway)...try doing that for a few hours. You get what you pay for, for sure. I'd save up for an Ikan if I could go back but $175 shipped is what got me to purchase it. Don't get me wrong it works great at flipping the image so you are not disoriented when shooting but for focusing, it sucks really bad.
